Book 1
Gerald Creeper Jr. is a self-proclaimed pacifist (which, by the way, has nothing to do with a pacifier), but he finds himself in the war zone when he starts his first year at Mob Middle School. At his new school, every monster in the Overworld is jockeying for power, and the skeletons seem to have it out for him.
Armed with a 30-day plan (he can thank his mom’s self-help obsession for that), Gerald makes it his mission to use his brainsinstead of his blaststo survive the school year. It all starts with:
Day 1: Come up with a nickname. (Gerald is not gonna cut it.)
Day 2: Keep a low profile. (Not easy when your new best friend is a super bouncy slime!)
Day 3: Avoid being target practice for skeletons, and somehow get in with super-popular Eddy Enderman. (Easier said than done.)
The first book in this laugh-out-loud funny, heavily illustrated, diary format series for Minecrafters follows the most misunderstood hostile mob in the Overworld. It’s not easy being green . . . or explosive!
Book 2
When he hears about the school’s upcoming talent show, Gerald sets his sights on a new plan: unveiling his hidden talents as a rapper. He can picture it already—kids will finally know his name. They'll beg for his autograph. Maybe he’ll even impress the super-popular Eddy Enderman!
But Gerald’s got some rivals for that top spot, not the least of which is a band of spider jockeys determined to keep a sixth-grader from winning the show. His sister is determined to blow him out of the water with her cannonball trick. Even his best friend steps up the competition with his slime-block trampoline.
In the second book of this hilarious, heavily illustrated, diary format series for Minecrafters, Gerald may win fame and glory—but what will he lose along the way?
Book 3
Gerald is thrilled when a new creeper starts up at Mob Middle School. Finally, there'll be a mob to hang out with that isn't a bouncy slime or a flesh-eating zombie! With Connor by his side, Gerald starts his thirty-day plan to make creepers the coolest mob at school.
At first, Connor does seem cool. He seems to have endless amounts of emeralds for the vending machine. He figures out a way to get Gerald on the field trip bus, even though Gerald's parents didn't exactly give permission. And he plays pranks on Bones and his bony buddies that Gerald would have never tried alone.
But when Gerald's journal goes missing and his private thoughts and secret rap songs start spreading around school, Gerald wonders if Connor is behind it. He needs help solving the mystery surrounding this new mob. The only problem? Gerald's old friends are suddenly nowhere to be found. Is this creeper on his own?
Book 4
Spring has sprung, and every mob at Mob Middle School is looking forward to the Overworld Games -- except Gerald Creeper Jr. Other schools are coming to compete from as far away as the Nether! But Gerald's got a problem. He's not big on sprinting, spider riding, or strategic explosions. So which event is this creeper cut out for?
Through some creative creeping, Gerald manages to get a few new events on the schedule. Pig riding, anyone? Firework crafting? When Dad gets involved, Gerald wants to make him proud. But, man, that team from the Nether looks awfully tough. This creeper could be in way over his head . . .
Gerald's ups and downs at Mob Middle School continue in this fourth book in the laugh-out-loud funny, heavily illustrated, diary-format series for Minecrafters.
Book 5
Can Gerald survive vacation with his crazy family?
The Creeper family is planning a month-long summer vacation! But where will they go? On a road trip across the Overworld? Backpacking in the Extreme Hills? Camping out in caves? Gerald and his sisters can't agree! When Dad suggests they do all three, Gerald hops on board. But he quickly realizes that the only thing worse than being stuck with his sisters at home is being stuck with them in a minecart for hours on end.
Cammy is so excited, she keeps blowing up. Cate is sulking because she couldn't pack all her wigs. And Chloe is determined to stir up trouble wherever they go—and she’s dragging Gerald right along with her. Abandoned mineshafts? Let's check 'em out! Miners? Let's freak 'em out! Cave spiders? Let's blow them into oblivion! To get through this vacation, Gerald is going to have to get creative—and come up with a serious survival plan.
Book 6
Book 6
Gerald Creeper Jr. needs a new plan to survive the holidays. Why? Because he "accidentally" spent the emeralds his parents gave him to buy gifts. Oops! But no worries. He's sure he can make it all back by helping Sam the Slime put on a holiday show for little mobs in the neighborhood. Gerald can picture it already: he'll perform his new song "Rapping through the Snow." Everyone at Mob Middle School will love it!
Instead, he's humiliated when Sam wraps him in twinkly lights and dubs him a talking Christmas tree. Gerald is ready to explode, until he meets a baby zombie with a special holiday wish. With a Santa skin, a wolf-drawn sleigh, and a potion of fire-resistance (to help him safely down the chimney), can he make her wish come true?
This special Christmas edition, Sneakin’ Through the Snow, is the third book in this laugh-out-loud funny, heavily illustrated, diary-format series for Minecrafters. This adventure series is created especially for readers who love the fight of good vs. evil, magical academies like Hogwarts in the Harry Potter saga, and games like Minecraft, Terraria, and Pokemon GO.
Book 7
Book 8
When Mom decides the Creeper family should take part in a student-exchange program, Gerald knows his house is going to get a lot more crowded. But he's horrified when the mob they're hosting turns out to be human.
Now Gerald has to bring his new "brother" to school with him. But how can a creeper be cool showing up at Mob Middle School with a human at his side? Gerald is sure this is going to be his longest semester ever. Can he make the best of it, or will it all end in a blast of embarrassment?
Book 9
Did someone say “field trip”? Gerald is all in! He’d much rather be exploring the Taiga than sleeping through science class. His buddy Sam is all about spotting polar bears, but Gerald is having way too much fun building igloos and snow golems.
His science teacher says there are only two rules—learn something every day and stay with the group. (That’s adult speak for, “don’t get lost.”) When Gerald discovers a secret trapdoor in an igloo, he doesn’t exactly get lost. But . . . if he’s not careful, his classmates might just lose him!
Book 10
When his mom starts selling vitamins and minerals, Gerald comes up with a sales idea of his own—a BIG idea. But he’s going to need some help. After he hires a few friends, they start raking in the emeralds. Gerald is going to be rich! He can see it already! But his fortune might come with a pretty big price tag, too.
Book 11
Gerald isn’t exactly thrilled when his parents send him to summer camp. Building shelters? Not really his thing. Gathering mushrooms? Thanks, but no thanks. Tracking wolves? Um . . . NO. Gerald especially dreads Survival Night, when he and his friend Sam have to sleep outside in the woods.
When Gerald stumbles onto an abandoned woodland mansion, he thinks it’s the perfect place to spend Survival Night! But a rival camp of villagers has already claimed the mansion. Can Gerald find the courage to stand up to them? He’s going to need ALL his survival skills to defend his discovery—and his good buddy Sam.
Gerald Creeper Jr. might be a self-proclaimed pacifist (which, by the way, has nothing to do with a pacifier), but Mob Middle School is anything but peaceful. This year, Gerald endures school mysteries, field trips, and even humans! Maybe he’ll manage to get through the year unscathed… or not. Join Gerald as he continues to navigate the ups and downs of middle school.
